Crystal Structure Analysis of Tetras[L-tris(ethylenediamine) cobalt(Ⅲ)] tris[hexacyanoruthenate(Ⅱ)]

1 INTRODUCTION The tris(ethylenediamine) cobalt (Ⅲ) complex in which there are L and D configurations is one of the very interest cations due to the chirality among research complexes and the characterization of reaction on the ion-pair charge-transfer transitions. It has been mentioned in a lot of examples on the chirality and the structure, such as [L-Co(en)3]- [?Co(edta)]2Cl?0H2O[1], [(+)DCo(en)3]Cl3稨2O[2], [(+)-Co(en)3?-)-Cr(en)3]Cl?.1H2O[3], [()-Co(en)3] (SCN)3[4], [(+)D…     

Synthesis,molecular structures,and thermal decomposition of heterometallic (π-cyclooctadiene)platinum-bis(tricarbonyliron-μ3-chalcogenides)[Fe—Fe], (π-C8H12)Pt(μ3-X)2Fe2(CO)6, where X = S,Se, or Te

Transmetallation of the Fe₃(₃-X)₂(CO)₉ clusters (X = S, Se, or Te) under the action of (-C₈H₁₂)PtCl₂ afforded new heterometallic clusters (-C₈H₁₂)Pt(₃-X)₂Fe₂(CO)₆ (2—4, respectively), which were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The (-C₈H₁₂)Pt fragment in these clusters is bound to two ₃-bridging chalcogen atoms X. The iron atoms are linked to each other. The coordination environment about the Pt atom is planar-square; the Pt...Fe distance is larger than 3.2 . In the synthesis of cluster 4, a new Pt complex was also obtained for which the structure (CO)₂Pt(-Te)₂Pt(CO)₂ (5) was proposed. According to the results of differential scanning calorimetry, thermal decomposition of complex 5 gave rise only to PtTe, whereas complexes 1—4 gave products with the empirical formula Fe₂PtX₂C₂O₂. The influence of the steric effects on the geometry of the clusters is discussed.     

Spectroscopic properties in the liquid phase: combining high-level ab initio calculations and classical molecular dynamics.

We present an integrated computational tool, rooted in density functional theory, the polarizable continuum model, and classical molecular dynamics employing spherical boundary conditions, to study the spectroscopic observables of molecules in solution. As a test case, a modified OPLS-AA force field has been developed and used to compute the UV and NMR spectra of acetone in aqueous solution. The results show that provided the classical force fields are carefully reparameterized and validated, the proposed approach is robust and effective, and can also be used by nonspecialists to provide a general and powerful complement to experimental techniques.     

Clathrate formation and phase transitions in β-hydroquinone

Clathrate thermodynamic stability conditions and the phase transitions associated with either the orientational ordering of the guest molecules or with the condensation of the guest molecules in the host lattice are investigated by means of the common microscopic model. The theory proposed describes the thermodynamic properties of -hydroquinone (Q ) clathrates. The dielectric constant (T) was measured experimentally inQ ·CH₃OH andQ ·SO₂ in the temperature range from 4.2 to 300 K and the phase transitions were found. It is shown that the theory qualitatively explains the experimental data obtained.Dedicated to Professor H. M. Powell.     

A practical access to novel 2-amino-5-arylidene-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-ones via sulfur/nitrogen displacement under solvent-free microwave irradiation

A new effective approach to the synthesis of a small library of 2-amino-5-arylidene-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-ones was reported using solvent-free reaction conditions under microwave irradiation. In the first step, rhodanines were subjected to Knoevenagel condensation with aryl aldimines according to a facile one-pot protocol. Then the (5Z)-5-arylidene rhodanine derivatives were transformed directly into the corresponding 2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4(5H)-ones by sulfur/nitrogen displacement reaction under microwaves with retention of configuration and good overall yields.     

锂离子电池负极合金CoSn和Cu-Sn的制备与表征

CoSn alloy and Cu-Sn samples were synthesized by H₂-reduction following solid-state reaction between Co(Ⅱ)， Cu(Ⅱ)， Sn(Ⅳ) and NaOH at ambient temperature. The samples were characterized by XRD， SEM. The results showed that CoSn alloy (80～200nm) is globe-shaped， ultrafine hexagonal material， and Cu-Sn alloy powder consists of two phases， i.e. Cu₆Sn₅ and Cu₃Sn. Cu-Sn powder has spherical morphology and the particle size is estimated to be 60～70nm. The electrochemical performances of CoSn alloy and Cu-Sn powder were studied using lithium-ions model cell Li/LiPF₆ (EC+DMC)/CoSn (or Cu-Sn). It was demonstrated the reversible discharge capacities for 10 cycles keep above 280mAh·g^-1 for nanophase Cu-Sn， and 60mAh·g^-1 for CoSn alloy. Differ-ential capacity plots showed that the reaction mechanisms of Cu-Sn with lithium were reversible.     

In Situ IR Spectroscopic Studies on Molybdenum Nitride Catalysts: Active Sites and Surface Reactions

Recent IR spectroscopic studies on the surface properties of fresh Mo₂N/-Al₂O₃ catalyst are presented in this paper. The surface sites of fresh Mo₂N/-Al₂O₃, both Mo⁺ (0<<2) and N sites, are probed by CO adsorption. Two characteristic IR bands were observed at 2045 and 2200 cm^-1, due to linearly adsorbed CO on Mo and N sites, respectively. The surface N sites are highly reactive and can react with adsorbed CO to form NCO species. Unlike adsorbed CO on reduced passivated one, the adsorbed CO on fresh Mo₂N/-Al₂O₃ behaves similarly to that of group VIII metals, suggesting that fresh nitride resembles noble metals. It is found that the surface of Mo nitrides slowly transformed into sulfide under hydrotreating conditions, which could be the main reason for the activity drop of molybdenum nitride catalysts in the presence of sulfur-containing species. Some surface reactions, such as selective hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene, isomerization of 1-butene, and hydrodesulfurization of thiophene, were studied on both fresh and reduced passivated Mo₂N/-Al₂O₃ catalysts using IR spectroscopy. The mechanisms of these reactions are proposed. The adsorption and reaction behaviors of these molecules on fresh molybdenum nitride also resemble those on noble metals, manifesting the unique properties of fresh molybdenum nitride catalysts. Mo and N sites are found to play different roles in the adsorption and catalytic reactions on the fresh Mo₂N/-Al₂O₃ catalyst. Generally, Mo sites are the main active sites for the adsorption and reactions of adsorbates; N sites are not directly involved in catalytic reactions but they modify the electronic properties of Mo sites.     

Methane Combustion Over Fe, Co and Ni Modified Manganese Oxide Catalysts

Fe-Mn, Co-Mn and Ni-Mn composite oxide catalysts based on high specific surface area MnO₂ precursor were prepared and applied to catalytic combustion of CH₄. Results were compared with that of unmodified MnOx and 1wt.% Pd/-Al₂O₃. Below 450°C, manganese oxide catalysts show higher activity than Pd/-Al₂O₃, while the modified manganese oxide catalysts exhibit higher activity than the unmodified one below 420°C. All catalysts were characterized by means of N₂-BET, XRD, TG-DTA and H₂-TPR. Due to the interaction between Fe, Co or Ni oxides and manganese oxide, the activity of the oxygen species of the modified catalysts is improved, which leads to the increase of their CH₄ combustion activity.
